Make a Baby Astronaut Costume for Halloween
This adorable astronaut costume is so fun and easy to make! Send your little one to the moon before they head out to trick or treat.

Why are babies in costumes so dang cute?! Maggie is so game for everything these days, so obviously I’m dressing her up in everything I can until she starts protesting.
Smarties recently asked us which smart historical figure we would dress our kids as for Halloween, so naturally I made a baby astronaut costume. Baby Sally Ride!
Come on, I know you have hearts popping out of your eyes right now.

Pros of an Astronaut Costume for your Kiddo
There are so many things to love about this costume!
One of the things I loved most about it for Maggie was that it was focused on a strong, smart, historical female figure. Princesses are great, but Sally Ride is amazing.
Another thing to love? It’s easy! This is technically a DIY created from a simple pair of kids’ coveralls.
Also, you can take off the patches and reuse the the coveralls for a million things after Halloween! If you order a size up, just roll up the sleeves and pant legs to make them fit. Then your little one can use them for a good amount of time.

Cute!
As a Canadian I find this especially clever, because in Canada, your Smarties are called Rockets (our Smarties are chocolate in a candy shell).
Someone else told me that too! I love the coincidence — I truly had no idea. It’s perfect! 🙂
That’s exactly what I was gonna say!
Also too cute! Wondering if we could get links to the coveralls and patches? Not having too much luck finding the coveralls.
